PMA 2301
Screendance: History and Practice

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

Choreography and cinematography are kindred spirits. This class explores their evolving relationship within the interdisciplinary realm of screendance. From Eadweard Muybridge's pioneering photographic studies of motion to the iconic dance films of Hollywood's golden age in the 1930s, and from the avant-garde works of Maya Deren to the incorporation of dance in commercials and Instagram Reels, we will trace the trajectory of screendance. We will examine various aesthetic approaches to the form. Through these explorations, we aim to understand the process and significance of creating dances through the medium of film.

When Offered Spring.
